Veggies and Inchies........

What a beautiful day it is, less humid and hot than yesterday's high of 92. It's very windy here which makes me absolutely convinced that if I put a wind turbine in my back yard I could generate electricity for the house!

The garden boxes are doing great! Hot days and warm nights are what those tomatoes like! Gary tied up the tomatoes up last night before the rain moved in.


The red and white sweet onion box...... I think these babies are going to be monsters! Can't wait to make Panzanella Salad with the red onions.
The garlic is almost ready to be harvested. We usually dig it after the 4th of July. I stuck a few eggplant in between the garlic, that's what you're seeing on the end of the box, they're not weeds.


Now to the flowers in just 3 words........
Run away Clematis.
Symmetry in Nature.


New Pink Lilly.


Very Bushy Plants.


Honey Bee Paradise.


I spent the late morning and some of the early afternoon working on inchies for a few swaps over at Amusing Muses.

For this one we could only use the colors: green, black and white.

This swap was monochromatic blue and 3/4 of inchie had to be blue.

The theme for this batch was "hats and crowns". I love a good hat.....or crown for that matter.

And lastly, the theme for this swap was....yes, you guessed it, "house".

I do believe that my favorite set is the black, green and white themed set. What's your favorite set?

Taking a Break.......

Took a little break from the studio today. Made a fabulous pizza with organic, cold pressed olive oil that was a creamy green color and so fresh tasting......basal from my garden.......tomatoes from sombody elses garden.........kalamata olives from my olive tree (not really, I wish!)........buffalo mozzarella cheese from my pet buffalo........just kidding, from Wal-Mart actually and fresh homemade pizza dough........a dash of salt and a few cranks of pepper and ta-da! It was so de-lish!!!!!!


Gary and I ate the pizza overlooking the back flower garden. The black-eyed Susans are doing great as well as the hostas!

Sneak peek of a new Halloween project started earlier this week..........and it's not a shadowbox. Hmmmm, are you curious?????
